War in Ukraine

Russia’s war against Ukraine has underscored the vital need for communication—both for the military and civilians. When the signal goes dark, Starlink keeps Ukraine online—on the battlefield and beyond.

North Korea is battle-testing its troops and weapons for the first time in decades, using Russia’s war against Ukraine to enhance and refine its military strength—gaining significant military advantages alongside its ally, Russia.

During World War II, the Soviet Red Army was responsible for widespread acts of violence against civilians, including numerous instances of gender-based abuse. Forced abuse is a widespread and systematic tool of Russian aggression, one that continues today in their war against Ukraine. Despite the overwhelming evidence, Russian authorities continue to deny these atrocities and silence those who expose them.

Russia’s government is promoting a record-high GDP as evidence of its resilience against Western sanctions. But behind the numbers lies a different story—soaring inflation, collapsing businesses, and a workforce increasingly funneled into war.

Russia has ramped up artillery production since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, outpacing Western allies in sheer volume. While NATO and Ukraine’s partners are working to also scale up its production, will it be enough to counter Moscow’s war machine?

In a frontline field hospital, medics work through the night, racing to stabilize soldiers wounded in relentless Russian assaults. The flow of wounded never stops—each life hanging in the balance, each decision a matter of seconds. UNITED24 Media spent the night inside, documenting the medics’ tireless fight to keep soldiers alive as war rages around them.
